Cruse Bereavement Support

Bereavement Support

About the service

Cruse Bereavement Support help people through one of the most painful times in life - with bereavement support, information and campaigning.

Local branches are primarily staffed by volunteers who work extremely hard to provide support to people when they need it most.

Each branches offers a unique mix of support services that is tailored to your local area.

Understanding Your Bereavement (group information sessions)

Our Understanding Your Bereavement sessions provide an overview of the different ‘grief models’ and help you understand the reasons behind how you’re feeling.

One to one support

We offer one to one sessions with one of our trained bereavement supporters. These usually take place over the phone or via a video call. In these sessions our volunteers will use counselling skills to help you understand how you’re feeling. 

Groups

Many of our branches offer peer to peer support groups. These include walking groups.
